Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow,
the place where you can stay up to date with everything SpaceX.
We’ve seen that there is a new boat SpaceX have got to replace their fairing catcher boats Ms.
Tree and Ms. Chief. They’ve been removing the arms from the boats. Julia Bergeron posted a
tweet saying “As I suspected, the remaining two arms were removed from GO Ms. Tree overnight.
The sisters are now docked side by side where they will continue to restore them
to pre-contract configuration.” On Thursday, Chris B posted a tweet saying “Dragon Resilience keeping
the ISS crew on their toes. Annunciated false emergency messages for Fire and Rapid Depress
as well as other erroneous messages yesterday. ISS crew ran responses for Fire and Rapid
depress but stood down once stable readings were confirmed.” He added to this with “ISS:
The issue was likely a Single Event Upset (SEU) on avionics box Power Unit 2B (Dragon’s primary
1553 gateway to ISS). The SEU radiation hit caused a processor to reset and output data
which the ISS interpreted as a collection of emergencies and off-nominal indications.”
Jonathan McDowell posted a tweet saying “The Falcon 9 second stage from the Mar 4 Starlink
launch failed to make a deorbit burn and is now reentering after 22 days in orbit.
Its reentry was observed from the Seattle area at around 0400 UTC Mar 26.” A bunch of people caught
the reentry on video and posted on Twitter, must have been cool to see this in person.
Over in Boca Chica, work continues at the orbital launch pad area.
The base of the integration tower next to the orbital launch mount is starting to come together.
The expansion of tent 3 is also coming along fast. Here’s the latest view of the orbital launch mount
infrastructure in the yard. Work continues on the high bay as they’ve installed the bridge crane.
The self propelled modular transporters have been prepared to possibly move BN1.
SpaceX Masterrace which is a meme Subreddit posted a tweet of Super Heavy doing the flip maneuver.
Musk responded with “Heavy comes in more like a javelin. Similar to Falcon 9, but caught by the
tower vs landing on legs.” Eric Berger posted a tweet saying “Asked NASA for an updated timeline
on the Human Landing System contract awards: ‘NASA anticipates making up to two firm-fixed
price contract awards for Option A following the conclusion of the base period no later than April
30, pending budget availability.’” There was a new GSE dome sleeved with a ring stack. There’s a new
nosecone being constructed in the tent. The aft dome for the GSE 1 tank was moved for stacking.
These 2 pieces for GSE 1 have now been stacked. Trevor Mahlmann posted a video of engineers
installing a different Raptor on SN11. This Raptor SN46 I believe is from an SN9 static fire.
SN11 then performed the second static fire on Friday as they aimed for a static fire and flight.
Mary had posted that she had been asked to evacuate the village on Friday and SpaceX
had even updated their website. After many hours of waiting and hoping for a test flight, the road
closure was cancelled later into the day. Cameron County posted that the testing had concluded and
have yet to post any further dates for a launch. Everyday Astronaut posted how it started vs how
it’s going in terms of his Boca Chica streaming setup. Musk responded and said “Standing down SN11
until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.”
There are now temporary flight restrictions posted on the FAA website for a launch of SN11 tomorrow,
Monday 29th or Tuesday 30th. So we can hopefully expect to see a flight tomorrow as Musk mentioned.
The SN15 nosecone that was moved outside has also received its other flap. SN16’s aft section
was spotted and moved into a fabrication tent. Once again, thanks to Brendan Lewis, we have an
updated Starship and Super Heavy prototype status diagram. As always, thanks to Mary,
otherwise known as BocaChicaGal who is out there all day every day filming the Boca Chica content.
Also, thanks to the NASASpaceflight team working behind the scenes on their great videos,
livestreams and other space content. That’s it for this episode of TheSpaceXShow, I hope you
